The thin-skin Sevier and thick-skin Laramide belts of the North American Cordillera provide
a long-term record of the interrelations between evolving styles of mountain building and …

Stratal stacking patterns provide the basis for the definition of all units and surfaces of
sequence stratigraphy. The same types of stacking patterns may be observed at different …

Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy, Second Edition presents principles to practical
workflow that guide applications in a consistent manner that is independent of model …

The study and interpretation of the textures, sedimentary structures, fossils, and lithologic
associations of sedimentary rocks on the scale of an outcrop, well section, or small segment …

Geochronological, structural, and sedimentological data provide the basis for a regional
synthesis of the evolution of the Cordilleran retroarc thrust belt and foreland basin system in …

It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much
progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

Evaluations of porosity relevant to hydrocarbon storage capacity in kerogen-rich mudrocks
(ie, source rocks) have thus far been plagued with ambiguity, in large part because …

The four‐part districting scheme (wedge‐top, foredeep, forebulge, and backbulge
depozones) applies to many foreland basin systems worldwide, but significant variations …

The high-resolution sequence stratigraphy tackles scales of observation that typically fall
below the resolution of seismic exploration methods, commonly referred to as of 4th-order or …

Retroarc foreland systems form through the flexural deflection of the lithosphere in response
to a combination of supra-and sublithospheric loads. Supracrustal loading by orogens leads …
